hey Ricardo,
Its great that you are doing that. That reminds me, since you are getting deeper into Pd development, and are working on Gem-related stuff, I think your attention is most needed on Gem itself. Gem is hosted in a separate sourceforge project, so you have to ask IOhannes for commit access, if the new git repo is going to work like that.
A great place to start is the details, like you already have. Then also any deployment details. I've been working on my 'load every help' automated test script and find it very valuable for finding problems. The Gem reference is not included yet because it needs to run in the GUI, and the current script runs 'pd -nogui', but I'll try to get a GUI version running too so we can test the Gem stuff too.

Small note:
I will update developer documentation in puredata.info to remove references to the Gem SVN. Moreover, IMHO abandon svn all the way, since having both the svn and the git repos around can be confusing (and has been). Not a big deal anyways.
Thanks. Ricardo Fabbri Linux registered user #175401

I am waiting on definitive answers on two questions, until then, I'm sticking to the current setup.
- are you dropping support for the Gem SVN?
i don't understand that question. what does "support for the SVN" mean?
i announced a switch to git, which means that any future development (and bug fixes) will be done in git. no future development is planned in svn.
as long as the svn is available and i find time, i'd like to sync at least release branches. it is not likely that "quick fixes" will make it (quickly) into svn.
- are you dropping support for building on Mac OS X 10.5 without
Fink?
no, why do you think so? when doing my builds, i usually do not have fink installed at all. this also means that my tests are usually done without fink. any problems arising from fink are therefore less likely to get caught.
nevertheless i'm happy to point to quick fixes for given problems (like adding /sw/bin to the beginning of PATH before running Gem's autogen.sh)
Oops, one more question:
- are you planning on making Mac OS X builds?
yes; sorry that this takes so long.
